[Intro] F Am C G Dm Am C G [Verse 1] F Am ..When an angel fell somewhere C in Lothian G Dm I was only a child but I trust my eyes Am C She burnt up like a comet before me G Before I could even say "Hi" F Am C ..Saw kingdoms come and go in Bernicia G With a space station rattling Dm above my head Am And I saw the dead C G I saw the dead...

F Am
..Back then, yeah, the door
C
was always open
G
I'd come and go, back and forth,
Dm
anytime I need
Am C
But I'm needing it more now than ever
G
'Cause I'm fading away
F Am C
..And I claw at the door every bad night
G
But somehow it's blocked from
Dm
the other side
Am C
I claw 'til my skin comes apart
G
Until I feel something

F Am
..And I remember that pain
C
in my mother
G
Being helpless and feckless
Dm
and far too young
Am
My brother was spiraling down
C
He said “Kid it's not me,
G
it's this town”
F
..So I rail against
Am C
that feeling when it comes...
G
I no longer have solitude
Dm
behind that door
Am C
And I know drugs that can hold it
G
You gotta hold it yourself
